Thanks! Was mentioned in my first response here. There's already been a bit of discussion on settings import because the way it searches for previous versions is far from ideal now, considering things like LTS -> LTS, beta -> release and custom userdirs. It was the last version-related thing still hardcoded, and although that's changed in 11.3, it's not ideal. So, a dialog that allows for settings import, and if not guides people through some common setup, including LaF seems an improvement to me, actually speeding up users getting the IDE configured - system LaF or cross-platform light or dark (both FlatLaF) being the obvious choices for appearance in my opinion.

That plugin appears to both be dead and under a license that makes that unlikely. Maybe some improvement of existing behaviour in the IDE here though?
